TWO. APPROVE AND ADOPT A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE ADOPTED BY RESOLUTION R-2026-04 BY AMENDING PUBLIC SAFETY FEES ENGINEERING, HEALTH AND SANITATION FACILITY ROOM RENTAL DEPOSIT / FEES.

PARK FACILITY RENTAL FEES. LAURIE SCHWENK, SENIOR ACTIVITY CENTER, MICHAEL J.

FELIX COMMUNITY CENTER BUILDING PERMITS AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FEES, WATER RATE SCHEDULE, WATER SERVICE CONNECTION FEES, WASTEWATER RATE, SCHEDULE, MUNICIPAL DRAINAGE, UTILITY FEE, NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES FEES AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. I THINK MR. MILLSAP JUST WANTED ME TO READ THAT OVER AGAIN. BUT WITH THAT, MR. MILLSAP, IF YOU CAN REQUEST A YES, IF YOU CAN HIT YOUR MIC BUTTON.

THERE YOU GO. MR. MILLSAP OKAY. ON THE MASTER SCHEDULE ON PAGE 44 OF IT THAT HAD BEEN

[00:35:07]

PRESENTED. LOOKING AT THE MASTER SCHEDULE, I THINK IT SHOULD BE UNIFORMLY RESPECTFUL OF ALL COMPANIES, ALL BUSINESSES, AND ONE OF THE INSPECTORS LOOKING AT IT, A CHURCH IMPACT FEE IS $482 PER SQUARE FOOT.

BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT A DAYCARE CENTER, IT'S $10,958 PER SQUARE FOOT TO BUILD THE SAME SIZE BUILDING.

I THINK THAT IS RIDICULOUS. DAYCARE SERVICES ARE EXORBITANT ENOUGH, AND MOST OF THE REASON WE NEED DAYCARE IS BECAUSE IT'S FAMILIES ARE IN A SITUATION WHERE BOTH MEMBERS HAVE TO WORK.

AND IT'S DOWN TO THE POINT NOW THAT A LOT OF THE EXPENSES OF IT.

IT TAKES ONE SPOUSE'S INCOME TO PAY FOR DAYCARE, AND I THINK THAT'S A RIDICULOUSLY EXORBITANT AMOUNT.

THEN WHEN YOU GET DOWN TO OFFICES, FOR INSTANCE, A CORPORATE OFFICE BUILDING ONLY COST $1,281 PER IMPACT FEE.

AND THAT'S A CORPORATE OFFICE, WHICH MEANS THERE WILL BE MULTIPLE PEOPLE THERE USING THAT FACILITY, WHICH MEANS IT WILL BE A BIGGER BUILDING. IT HAS MORE UTILITIES.

BUT THEN WHEN YOU GET DOWN TO THE FOURTH ITEM ON THE OFFICES, A SINGLE TENANT BUILDING IS $1,734 PER SQUARE FOOT. SO IT'S TOTALLY UNREALISTIC.

AND WHOEVER WROTE THIS UP TO THINK THAT THAT'S A FAIR APPLICATION OF IMPACT FEES FOR THE CITY OF SACHSE.

THAT MAY BE WHY WE DON'T HAVE VERY MANY OFFICE BUILDINGS IN SACHSE, AND WE DON'T HAVE VERY MANY SMALL BUSINESSES COME INTO TOWN OTHER THAN FAST FOOD AND THAT TYPE OF STUFF. SO I CAN'T SUPPORT THIS THE WAY IT'S PRESENTED AT ALL.

THANK YOU, MR. MILLSAP. ANYONE ELSE WANT TO COMMENT ON THIS ITEM? IF NOT, ENTERTAIN MOTION. MISS BUHLER. OH, ACTUALLY I DID JUST WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT.

OH, SURE. I WANTED TO THANK YOU ALL FOR CONSIDERING KEEPING THE FEES FOR SENIORS AND MILITARY VETS AT $0.

I APPRECIATE SEEING THAT CHANGE FROM LAST MEETING. YEAH. THAT'S IT. OKAY.

MISS HOWARTH. I WILL MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT ITEM TWO AS PRESENTED.

HAVE A MOTION BY MS. HOWARTH TO APPROVE ITEM TWO.

A E TWO IS PRESENTED TO HAVE A SECOND. MR. PRESTENBERG.

SECOND. SECOND BY. MR. PRESTENBERG. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? YEAH. MISS BUHLER. CAN WE HEAR FROM CITY STAFF WHY THAT IS SUCH A SUCH A DISCREPANCY? THE POINT FRANK BROUGHT UP, MR. MILLSAP, WE CAN I'M GUESSING IT'S HIGH USAGE, BUT I'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM THE EXPERT.

I BET MR. ROBINSON CAN HELP YOU WITH THAT. GOOD EVENING.

COUNCIL. THE IMPACT FEES THAT WERE ADOPTED BY COUNCIL WERE BASED ON THE THE CALCULATIONS FROM THE CITY'S CONSULTANT WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THE IMPACT FEE UPDATE. AS FAR AS THE INDIVIDUAL USERS AND INDIVIDUAL USES THEMSELVES, THAT'S BASED ON A SERVICE UNIT CAPACITY. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBERS, IT'S NOT A 1 TO 1 COMPARISON.

IT'S BASED ON EITHER A SQUARE FOOTAGE OR A NUMBER OF DWELLING UNITS OR THE SERVICE UNIT EQUIVALENT.

SO FOR EXAMPLE, A DAYCARE SEES A LOT MORE TRAFFIC THAN A TRADITIONAL OFFICE COMPLEX WOULD.

SO THAT'S WHERE SOME OF THOSE NUMBERS ARE GOING TO BE DIFFERENT.

OKAY. YES. MISS NASH HAS A COMMENT. YES. AND MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

THESE IMPACT FEES WERE APPROVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2024.

SO THIS ISN'T ANY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE'S A CLARIFICATION. THESE AREN'T ANY NEW IMPACT FEES.

WE JUST HAVE TO INCLUDE THESE EVERY TIME WE DO A MASTER FEE SCHEDULE UPDATE.

BUT AS IT SAYS IN HERE, THE STATE DOES REQUIRE US TO UPDATE THIS EVERY FIVE YEARS.

AND WE DID DO THAT IN NOVEMBER OF 24. SO THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH THE APPROVED PLAN THAT WAS DONE IN 2024.

SO THE FEES REFLECT THAT. YES, SIR. OKAY. MR. MILLSAP. AS MATT JUST SAID DAY CARE WOULD SEE A LOT MORE PEOPLE.

YES IT WOULD, BUT ALSO I BELIEVE THAT A CORPORATE OFFICE WOULD SEE A WHOLE LOT MORE PEOPLE THAN PER UNIT THAN A SINGLE TENANT.

BUT HERE IT IS. IT'S A, IT'S A NOT CONSISTENT IN THAT THINKING.

SO I FEEL LIKE THAT, THAT [INAUDIBLE] HASN'T BEEN GIVEN.

YES, IT MAY HAVE BEEN APPROVED FIVE YEARS AGO, BUT IT'S TIME THAT WE REDO IT, NOT JUST RUBBER STAMP IT AND ADD AN INFLATION FACTOR TO THE

[00:40:08]

DOLLARS. AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE IN, WHERE WE ARE WITH THE FINANCIAL PROBLEMS RIGHT NOW.

AND I THINK THAT WE NEED TO TAKE TIME AND GO BACK AND DO AN ADEQUATE STUDY AND NOT JUST CALL OTHER CITIES AND SEE WHAT THEY'RE DOING SO WE CAN FOLLOW THE LEADER AND JUSTIFY IT. WE CAN SET OUR OWN STANDARDS. AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE NEED TO DO.

AND I THINK THE TAXPAYERS NEED TO BEGIN TO REALIZE THAT WHO'S WANTING WILLING TO DO THAT AND WHO ISN'T WILLING TO DO THAT? MISS NASH, THIS WAS DONE IN 2024, CORRECT? YES, SIR.

AND IT'S REFERENCED AT THE TOP ON ON THE PAGE 44 THAT THE COUNCILMAN REFERENCES.

YES. SO IT WASN'T IT WASN'T FIVE YEARS AGO. NO SIR.

IT WAS IN 2024. OKAY. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE? WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND ON THE FLOOR. ANYTHING? ANY OTHER DISCUSSION? ALL RIGHT. PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE.

IT'S ALWAYS FUN LEARNING NEW STUFF, RIGHT? MOTION CARRIES.

MR. MILLSAP VOTING NO. NEXT REMOVED ITEM FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA.

[3. Approve a resolution of the City Council of the City of Sachse, Texas, approving a negotiated settlement between the Atmos cities steering committee (“acsc”) and atmos energy corp., mid-tex division regarding the company’s 2026 rate review mechanism filing; declaring existing rates to be unreasonable; adopting tariffs that reflect rate adjustments consistent with the negotiated settlement; finding the rates to be set by the attached settlement tariffs to be just and reasonable and in the public interest; approving an attachment establishing a benchmark for pensions and retiree medical benefits; requiring the company to reimburse acsc’s reasonable ratemaking expenses; determining that this resolution was passed in accordance with the requirements of the texas open meetings act; adopting a savings clause; declaring an effective date; and requiring delivery of this resolution to the company and the acsc’s legal counsel.]

ITEM THREE APPROVE A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL. THE CITY OF SACHSE, TEXAS APPROVING A NEGOTIATED SETTLEMENT BETWEEN THE ATMOSPHERE CITY STEERING COMMITTEE ACSC AND ATMOS ENERGY CORP. MID DIVISION REGARDING THE COMPANY'S 2026 RATE REVIEW MECHANISM FILING, DECLARING EXISTING RATES TO BE UNREASONABLE, ADOPTING TARIFFS THAT REFLECT THAT RATE, THAT REFLECT RATE ADJUSTMENTS CONSISTENT WITH NEGOTIATED SETTLEMENT. FINDING THE RATES TO BE SET BY THE ATTACHED SETTLEMENT TARIFFS TO BE JUST AND REASONABLE AND IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST, APPROVING AN APPROVING AN ATTACHED, ESTABLISHING A BENCHMARK FOR PENSIONS AND RETIREE MEDICAL BENEFITS, REQUIRING THE COMPANY TO REIMBURSE A REASONABLE RATE, MAKING EXPENSES DETERMINING THAT THIS RESOLUTION WAS PASSED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE TEXAS OPEN MEETINGS ACT, ADOPTING A SAVINGS CLAUSE, DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND REQUIRING DELIVERY OF THIS RESOLUTION TO THE COMPANY AND THE ASCS LEGAL COUNSEL.

MR. MILLSAP, IF YOU'LL TURN YOUR MIC ON, I'LL TURN IN.

MR. MILLSAP. OKAY. ON THIS ONE, I JUST HAD A QUESTION.

I THINK MAYBE CLARIFICATION AND TYPO. I HOPE THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

BUT ON PAGE 70 AND WHEN IT'S TALKING ABOUT THE SERVICES RATES AND CHARGES, MONTHLY RATES CHARGE CUSTOMER CHARGE PER METER $2,304.50 PER MONTH PER METER. IS THAT RIGHT? I THINK WHOEVER NEGOTIATED THIS WITH THAT MOST NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT IS THAT RIGHT? AND THIS IS TALKING ABOUT I THINK IT'S COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS APPLICATION APPLICABLE TO INDUSTRIAL CUSTOMERS.

SO THAT'S A COMMERCIAL EVENT RIGHT HERE AT 70, 70.

70. THAT SEEMS KIND OF A LITTLE BIT EXORBITANT. IF IT'S $2,000 A MONTH PER METER, IT'S A FLAT RATE.

PLUS, WE HAVE THE USE OF GAS BASED ON VOLUME, WHICH IS STANDARD.

AND AGAIN, WE NEED TO RETHINK THIS. IF THAT BE TRUE.

AND THE REASON I'M SAYING IT'S 2000, I EVEN PUT THIS UNDER MY MICROSCOPE AT HOME TO MAKE SURE THAT THE DOT BETWEEN THE TWO AND THE THREE WAS A WAS A COMMA, NOT A, NOT A PERIOD. AND IT IS A COMMA. SO THAT MEANS THAT AMOUNT.

IT IS THIS IS ACTUALLY FOR INDUSTRIAL CUSTOMERS.

SO THIS IS HEAVY INDUSTRIAL USAGE, WHICH I ACTUALLY DON'T EVEN THINK WE HAVE ANY OF THESE CUSTOMERS IN OUR CITY.

THIS IS WE HAVE TO ADOPT THE ENTIRE THING AS PRESENTED.

BECAUSE IF WE WERE TO EVER HAVE THESE TYPE OF CUSTOMERS, BUT THAT'S ACTUALLY FOR AN INDUSTRIAL COMMERCIAL CUSTOMER, WHICH WE DON'T HAVE THOSE. WE DON'T HAVE ANY OF THOSE CUSTOMERS IN OUR CITY. HOW BIG DOES A COMPANY HAVE TO GET BEFORE, WHEN THEY'RE BEFORE THEY'RE CALLED OR WHEN THEY'RE CALLED INDUSTRIAL? IT HAS TO DO WITH THE TYPE OF ZONING THAT THEY'RE IN AND THE ZONING DISTRICT THAT THEY'RE IN.

AND WE WOULDN'T I WE INDUSTRIAL SALES THIS WE DON'T HAVE ANY ANY CUSTOMERS, TO MY KNOWLEDGE THAT WOULD EVEN BE INVOLVED IN THAT.

MATT, DO YOU DO YOU KNOW, AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER, IT'S OKAY.

HEAVY INDUSTRIAL USERS ARE TYPICALLY THE HEAVY MANUFACTURING WHERE THEY'RE TAKING RAW MATERIAL AND CREATING SOMETHING.

AND AS MS. NASH POINTED OUT, WE DO NOT HAVE ANY OF THOSE USERS AT THIS POINT.

RIGHT. IF IN REALITY, THE BLOOD PLASMA COMPANY THAT HAS GONE OUT

[00:45:07]

NOW APPARENTLY CAME IN, WOULD THEY HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED INDUSTRIAL BECAUSE THEY'RE PRODUCING A PRODUCT? YES, THEY WOULD BE, YES, SIR. SO WE DO HAVE AN INDUSTRIAL AREA.

AND YES, WE DON'T HAVE A CUSTOMER CURRENTLY AND WE DO HAVE PROPERTY ZONED INDUSTRIAL.

THAT PARTICULAR PROPERTY IS IN A PD. BUT YES, YES, THEY WOULD BE UNDER INDUSTRIAL SALES.

IF IF THEY COME ONLINE, YES. BUT CURRENTLY WE DON'T HAVE ANYBODY THAT WOULD QUALIFY UNDER THIS THAT'S ACTIVE TODAY.

OKAY. THAT'S WHAT I WANTED TO KNOW. OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THIS ITEM FROM COUNCIL? HEARING NONE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION. MR. PRESTENBERG.

MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM E THREE AS PRESENTED.

MOTION BY MR. PRESTENBERG TO APPROVE ITEM E THREE AS PRESENTED.

DO I HAVE A SECOND? MISS BUHLER SECOND. SECOND BY MISS BUHLER.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE, PLEASE CAST YOUR BALLOT.

YOU GOT THE HANG OF IT. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY.

THE FINAL ITEM REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA. ITEM FOUR. APPROVE AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SACHSE, TEXAS, AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES BY AMENDING CHAPTER SIX TITLED

[4. Approve an ordinance of the City of Sachse, Texas, amending the Code of Ordinances by amending Chapter 6 titled "Health and Sanitation," Article I titled "In General" Section 6-7 titled "Nuisances and Vegetation," by amending paragraph 6-7. C. to add clearance and visibility requirements and add provisions for the removal of dead, damaged, or diseased trees or limbs; providing for a repealing clause; providing for a severability clause; providing a savings clause; providing for a penalty of fine not to exceed two thousand dollars ($2,000.00); and providing for an effective date.]

HEALTH AND SANITATION ARTICLE ONE, TITLED IN GENERAL SECTION 6-7, TITLED NUISANCES AND VEGETATION BY PARAGRAPH SECTION 6-7 C TO ADD CLEARANCE AND VISIBILITY REQUIREMENTS AND ADD PROVISIONS FOR THE REMOVAL OF DEAD, DAMAGED OR DISEASED TREES OR LIMBS.

PROVIDING FOR REPEALING CLAUSE. PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY CLAUSE. PROVIDING A SAVINGS CLAUSE. PROVIDING FOR A PENALTY OF FINE NOT TO EXCEED $2,000 AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. MR. MILLSAP, IF YOU'LL. OKAY.

HOLD ON, HOLD ON. HIT YOUR BUTTON THERE. GOT A NEW SYSTEM? OKAY. WELL, THEN AGAIN, ON PAGE 89 OF THIS, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT GRASS AND WEEDS.

IT SAYS, ARE ANY OBJECTION TO IT THAT IT SHALL BE UNLAWFUL AND DECLARED A NUISANCE FOR AN OWNER OR PROPERTY OF ANY PROPERTY WITHIN THE CITY TO PERMIT WEEDS, GRASS OR ANY OBJECTIONABLE OR UNSIGHTLY MATTER.

OR UNSIGHTLY MATTER TO ACCUMULATE OR GROW TO A HEIGHT GREATER THAN 12IN UPON SUCH PROPERTY, WITHIN 150FT OF ANY PROPERTY, LINE OR OTHER PROPERTY WHICH ABUTS THE STREET OR RIGHT OF WAY, PROPERTY LINE OR OTHER PROPERTY. HOW FAR CAN THAT OTHER PROPERTY BE BETWEEN THE CITY AND AND THIS PROPERTY IS BEING ADDRESSED HERE. AND THE REASON I'M ASKING THAT IS THERE ARE SOME AREAS IN TOWN WHERE WE SEE THAT THERE ARE ADEQUATELY MOWED ADJOINING THE STREET, BUT ONLY MAYBE 40 OR 50FT BACK OR 20 OR 30FT BACK, BUT NOT 150FT BACK.

AND SO THAT IS AN INCONSISTENCY OF WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW.

AND ALSO, WHEN WE TALKED ABOUT THIS IN THE PAST, WE TALKED ABOUT THE NEED FOR SAFETY AT INTERSECTIONS, HEIGHT OF PLANTS, MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM. WE HAVE NO.

NOTHING ADDRESSES ANYTHING THAT SAYS AT AN INTERSECTION IN ORDER TO ALLOW TRAFFIC VISIBILITY FOR ONCOMING EGRESS OR ON OR OFF.

HOW FAR DOWN THE STREET CAN YOU SEE? BECAUSE OF VEGETATION IS ALLOWED TO GROW TOO TALL.

WE'VE HAD THAT PROBLEM WITH A WHILE BACK WITH THE STATION, BECAUSE SOMEBODY HAD THEIR GRASS GROWN UP TO CLUMPS OF GRASS, WAS WAY TOO TALL, AND SOMEBODY WALKING ACROSS THE STREET DIDN'T, WASN'T SEEN AND GOT HIT.

AND WE HAVE, WE HAVE NO ADDRESS OF THAT. WE TALKED ABOUT THE NEED FOR THIS AND HERE WE'RE NOT DOING IT.

WE NEED TO HAVE SOME GUIDELINES. IT SAYS IF YOU'RE STANDING AT AN INTERSECTION, YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO SEE DOWN THE STREET FOR ONCOMING CARS.

A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF DISTANCE. AND THAT DISTANCE NEEDS TO BE IDENTIFIED.

AND IF YOU CAN'T SEE THEM, IF YOU'RE STANDING THERE LOOKING AND YOU CAN'T SEE THE CAR COMING, TO GUY IN THE CAR COMING TOWARDS YOU. CAN'T SEE YOU EITHER.

AND WE HAVE NO SAFETY BUILT IN FOR THIS. AND THIS IS WE'RE ASKING TO APPROVE IT WITHOUT THE SAFETY MATTER.

I CAN'T BUY THIS. THAT'S NOT GOOD COMMON LEGISLATION, I DON'T THINK.

AND I THINK WE'VE TALKED ABOUT IT. MR. GORFIDA.

JUST FOR CLARIFICATION PURPOSES, I BELIEVE THIS IS ON WHAT IS WHAT WE'RE ADDING TO THIS ORDINANCE IS SPECIFICALLY WHAT'S UNDERLINED.

SO IT'S ON PAGE TWO OF FOUR AND THEN THREE AND THREE OF FOUR.

IT'S WHAT IS UNDERLINED. SO THAT'S JUST SPECIFICALLY CLEARANCE.

WHAT COUNCIL MEMBER MILLSAP IS REFERRING TO HAS BEEN IN THIS ORDINANCE WHICH MIRRORS IT DOES MIRROR STATE LAW.

BUT TO HIS POINT, WE DO HAVE A PROVISION ELSEWHERE IN THE CODE, AND I'LL RELY ON STAFF TO TELL ME WHERE IT IS,

[00:50:03]

BUT I KNOW IT'S IN THERE THAT DEALS SPECIFICALLY WITH THE VISIBILITY TRIANGLE, WHICH IS WHAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO, WHICH ADDRESSES HOW HIGH THINGS CAN BE WITHIN THAT VISIBILITY TRIANGLE.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S IN THE. YEAH, I WAS GOING TO SAY BECAUSE WE HAVE A SEPARATE PART. I WAS THINKING, BECAUSE THIS IS JUST THIS IS JUST A NUISANCE IN THE NUISANCE ORDINANCE, RIGHT? OH, OKAY. WELL, IF I MS. NASH.

SO WITH REGARD TO THE SECOND QUESTION THAT WAS BROUGHT UP WITH THE SIGHTLINE VISIBILITY, THAT'S NOT ADDRESSED IN HERE, THAT'S ACTUALLY ADDRESSED IN THE ENGINEERING DESIGN STANDARDS, BECAUSE IT'S NOT IT'S NOT A NUISANCE ISSUE.

IT'S A VISIBILITY ISSUE RELATIVE TO HOW WE DO OUR ENGINEERING DESIGN.

AND SO THAT'S ALREADY ADDRESSED IN THERE. BUT IF WE GO BACK AND ANSWER THE FIRST QUESTION THAT HE HAD ABOUT DID YOU ANSWER THAT, JOE OR LAUREN, IS IT DO YOU WANT STAFF TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION ABOUT ENFORCEMENT OF THE REGULATIONS? IS THAT CORRECT, MR. MILLSAP YEAH, JUST JUST JUST A POINT OF INFORMATION.

IT'S ABOUT ENFORCEMENT. BECAUSE REALLY, WHENEVER YOU TO ME, WHENEVER I READ THIS, IT SAYS GRASS AND ANY ANY OBJECTIONABLE OR UNSIGHTLY MATTER OR MATTER I DON'T SHOULD BE MANNER, BUT TO ACCUMULATE OR GROW TO A HEIGHT GREATER THAN 12IN UPON PROPERTY, WITHIN 150FT OF ANY PROPERTY LINE, OR OF SUCH PROPERTY WHICH ABUTS ANY STREET RIGHT AWAY ALLEY, UTILITY EASEMENT, SUBDIVIDED PROPERTY, OR ANY BUILDINGS OR OTHER STRUCTURES.

LIKE I SAY, WHENEVER WE RIGHT NOW WE'VE HAD THIS, WE'RE JUST REVAMPING IT.

APPARENTLY WE'RE APPROVING IT. AND YOU CAN DRIVE DOWN THE STREET AND I CAN SHOW YOU SOME FIELDS THAT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY MOWED AT THE CURB, MAYBE 40, 50FT BACK, BUT NOT 150FT. AND THEN OTHERS ARE THE ENTIRE FIELDS ARE HAVING TO BE MOWED.

AND I THINK IT'S INCONSISTENT. AND I THINK THAT IT'S BEING ENFORCED INCONSISTENT.

AND I THINK WE NEED TO BE MORE REALISTIC AND FORTHCOMING WITH WITH WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO AND WHAT WE'RE EXPECTING TO BE DONE.

OTHER COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL. HEARING NONE, I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION.

MISS HOWARTH. IF THERE'S NO OTHER COMMENTS, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM FOUR.

FOUR AS PRESENTED. IT DOES GET LOST EVERY NOW AND THEN I KEEP.

I KEEP CLOSING THE WINDOW. MOTION BY MISS HOWARTH TO APPROVE ITEM E4 IS PRESENTED TO HAVE A SECOND MR. PRESTENBERG. SECOND. SECOND BY MR. PRESTENBERG.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING NONE, PLEASE CAST YOUR BALLOT.

MOTION CARRIES WITH MR. MILLSAP VOTING NO. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM F ACTION ITEMS.

[1. Conduct a public hearing on the proposed 2026-2027 fiscal year budget and set a date for budget adoption.]

ITEM ONE CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED 2026 2027 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET AND SET A DATE FOR BUDGET ADOPTION.

MISS NASH. WE'RE BACK. TALK ABOUT THE BUDGET SOME MORE.

SO TONIGHT IS HERE. ACTUALLY, REALLY? IT'S JUST TO CONDUCT THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED 2627 BUDGET AND TO SET A DATE FOR ADOPTION.

AND DAVID, IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO ADD BEYOND THAT. HELLO, MR. BALDWIN. HELLO, MAYOR COUNCIL, I DO HAVE SOME COMMENTS WITH SOME SLIDES HERE.

LET'S TALK ABOUT WHERE WE'VE BEEN IN THIS BUDGET PROCESS.

IT STARTED ON JUNE 1ST, ASKING FOR EARLY PUBLIC INPUT ON THE BUDGET.

ON JUNE 15TH, WE HAD A CITY COUNCIL MEETING ALSO, WHERE WE HAD A BUDGET WORKSHOP GOING OVER THE PRELIMINARY BUDGET.

ON THE 25TH OF JUNE, THE MAYOR HELD A BUDGET AND BURGERS PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT EVENT.

ON AUGUST 3RD. WE DID A WHOLE BUNCH OF THINGS.

BUDGET, INCLUDING RECEIVING THE NO NEW REVENUE TAX RATE, THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE, AND WE PRESENTED THE PROPOSED BUDGET.

THE PROPOSED ANNUAL BUDGET WAS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC ONLINE ON JULY 31ST.

IT WAS PRESENTED TO COUNCIL ON AUGUST 3RD. IT REMAINS AVAILABLE AT WWW.CITYOFSACHSE.COM/BUDGET.

THERE ARE PRINTED COPIES AVAILABLE FOR VIEWING IN WITH THE CITY SECRETARY AND AT THE LIBRARY.

AS A REMINDER, THE PROPERTY TAX RATE PROPOSED IN THE BUDGET IS THE SAME RATE SHOWING IN CORAL THERE THE SAME RATE AS THE PRIOR YEAR. IT REMAINS AT 0.650416. THAT RATE IS WELL BELOW THE VOTER APPROVAL RATE OF 0.772334. AND IT'S ALSO BELOW THE NO NEW REVENUE RATE OF 0.652103.

[00:55:03]

TONIGHT, ONE OF THE ITEMS THAT WAS IN THE BUDGET DOCUMENT WAS THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE.

AND SO TONIGHT, AS PART OF THE BUDGET, WE ALSO COUNCIL APPROVED THE RESOLUTION FOR THE MASTER FEE SCHEDULE.

AND HERE WE ARE IN FRONT OF YOU TODAY FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING.

AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING STAFF REQUESTS THAT COUNCIL TAKE ACTION ON THE BUDGET AS IS FOUND IN, IN, IN CODE. THE CALENDAR SHOWS THAT BUDGET ADOPTION IS SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 8TH.

AND SO NOW WOULD BE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.

THANK YOU, MR. BALDWIN. BEFORE WE GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT, QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS AMONG THE COUNCIL. ALL RIGHT.

WE CAN ALWAYS COME BACK TO THAT IF WE NEED TO. THANK YOU, MR. BALDWIN. MS. GRANGER OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE A COUPLE OF CARDS FOR ITEM ONE.

MARTY. I'M SORRY. EXCUSE ME. MAYOR, WOULD YOU LIKE TO OPEN THE.

I'M SORRY. YES. MY BAD. SEE, THAT'S WHY YOU GOT THAT AWARD EARLIER, [LAUGHTER] I DECLARE THE PUBLIC.

THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. I DECLARE THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN. THE TIME MS. GRANGER. 7:27 P.M..

PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN AT 7:27 P.M.. THAT'S WHY YOUR MICROPHONE WAS ON, I GUESS.

OKAY. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS OPEN AT 7:27 P.M. NOW. MARTY HILBO.

MARTY HILBO 5511 OAK RIDGE CIRCLE, SACHSE, TEXAS, TOP OF THE HILL.

GOING THROUGH THE BUDGET, I FOUND A LOT OF ITEMS IN THERE FOR LANDSCAPING.

I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHO'S IN CHARGE OF LANDSCAPING BETWEEN STATE HIGHWAY 78 AND CITY HALL, BECAUSE IT'S NOTHING BUT A DEAD ZONE. AND IT'S BEEN A DEAD ZONE FOR 15 YEARS.

YOU SPENT $10 MILLION UP HERE THAT JEFF THINKS IS THE GREATEST INVESTMENT IN THE WORLD.

AND THE LANDSCAPING LOOKS LIKE THE SAHARA DESERT.

Y'ALL MANAGED TO FIND MONEY TO GO TO THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL LEAGUE EVERY YEAR.

15 GRAND, BUT ALL WE GET IS DEAD BUSHES AND CRAP OUT THERE.

SO IF YOU NEED TO TURN IT OVER TO WOODBRIDGE, TURN IT OVER TO WOODBRIDGE.

PUT IT IN THE BUDGET. WHAT IS THE LETTING DATE FOR MERRITT ROAD? FROM WHAT I SAW, IT'S UP TO $43 MILLION NOW. AND YOUR $8 MILLION SHORT? I COULD BE WRONG AT THAT. I WAS JUST GOING QUICKLY.

BUT WHAT IS THE PROPOSED LETTING DATE FOR MERRITT ROAD? YOU REDID OUR PEER CITIES. I MIGHT HAVE MISSED A MEETING ON THAT.

SO I CAN SHOOT SOME EMAILS ON THAT. BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT SALES TAX BETWEEN ALL OF OUR PEER CITIES, ARE WE HIGH? ARE WE LOW OR ARE AT THE TOP OF THE LIST? I HAVE A FUNNY FEELING WE'RE AT THE TOP OF THE LIST, BUT YOU MAY SURPRISE ME.

AND THAT'S WHY I SAY WE HAVE THE HIGHEST TAXES IN OUR CITY.

BECAUSE IF WE DON'T COMPARE TO OUR PEER CITIES, WHY DO WE HAVE THEM? IS IT JUST SO EVERYBODY ELSE GETS A HIGHER SALARY? IF YOU'RE GOING TO COMPARE TO THEM, YOU GET TO BE JUDGED BY THEM.

LET'S SEE. I THINK THAT'S ALL I REALLY FOUND.

WHAT'S THE LETTING DATE FOR MERIT ROAD? WHEN'S THE $8 MILLION GOING TO COME OVER? IS IT ALREADY BUDGETED? AND LET'S GET SOME LANDSCAPING AROUND HERE.

NEXT CARD I HAVE IS LINDA CRANK. GOOD EVENING. THERE YOU GO. THANK YOU. I KNOW I'M SHORT.

SO QUICK QUESTIONS FOR Y'ALL. I'M NOT JUST A LITTLE CONFUSED ON A COUPLE OF POINTS.

ON SLIDE 22 OF THE DECK THAT WAS IN THE PROPOSED BUDGET.

THERE WERE THE NEW CITIES IN THE PEER GROUP. AND I'M CURIOUS BECAUSE DALLAS COUNTY AND COLLIN COUNTY ARE THE TWO CITIES THAT SACHSE SPLIT INTO.

AND SO WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT IT REAL QUICKLY, TWO OF THE CITIES CAME FROM IN THE PEER GROUP CAME FROM DALLAS COUNTY, AND THEN SIX OF THE CITIES CAME FROM CAME FROM ROCKWALL COUNTY, WHICH IS THE WEALTHIEST COUNTY WITHIN THE STATE OF TEXAS FOR THIS LAST YEAR.

SO I'M CURIOUS REALLY HOW. I LIVE IN THE DALLAS COUNTY SIDE.

SO I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROPORTION, WHAT THE RANKING, AND WHAT THE.

IF SOMEONE COULD WALK ME THROUGH THE SELECTION PROCEDURE, JUST TO HELP ME UNDERSTAND KIND OF BETWEEN THOSE TWO.

THE SECOND PART IS DO WE DID WE FACTOR IN THE PERCENTAGE OF THE RESIDENTS WHO HAVE THEIR TAXES FROZEN ON THE PROPERTY TAXES?

[01:00:03]

AND WHAT WAS THE SUBSEQUENT IMPACT TO THAT? AND THEN THE THIRD, HOW GOVERNOR ABBOTT HAS PROPOSED A A SPENDING CAP FOR LOCAL ENTITIES TO INCLUDE THE LESSER OF THE POPULATION AND INFLATION PLUS INFLATION, OR 3.5%, WHICHEVER IS LOWER. HOW DID THAT FACTOR INTO THE BUDGET? SO I DON'T HAVE ANY ANSWERS. AND I'M JUST I'M JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE I'M BETTER EDUCATED INTO HOW THE PROCESS OCCURRED.

BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH. FINAL CARD I HAVE IS JANE REED.

OH. I'M SORRY. OKAY. SO I MAY BE PAST DUE ON THIS, BUT I DID NOT KNOW IF IF THIS IS STILL TIME THAT WE CAN TURN IN REQUEST FOR POSSIBLE BUDGET ITEMS OR IS THE BUDGET ALREADY APPROVED? AND THE REASON WHY I ASK IS I LAST YEAR I WAS TOLD BECAUSE I WAS VERY VOCAL. WELL WITH EMAILS AND ON THREE DIFFERENT ITEMS AND I COPIED SEVERAL OF THE FOLKS IN CITY OF SACHSE.

SO THEY COUNTED ALL THOSE IS AS SEPARATE EMAILS.

BUT I WAS TOLD BACK ON. SEPTEMBER 17TH THAT AFFECT IMMEDIATELY QUESTION SENT TO CITY STAFF AND CITY ASSOCIATED BUDGET EMAIL REQUEST ACCOUNT WILL NOT BE ADDRESSED.

SO I WAS TOLD ANY QUESTIONS I HAD FOR THE BUDGET, THEY WOULD NOT BE ADDRESSED AND I WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH FUTURE REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION THROUGH THE TEXAS PUBLIC INFORMATION ACT.

OR HOW CAN I USE THE TEXAS PUBLIC INFORMATION ACT WHEN SOMETHING HAS EVEN HAPPENED.

SO I DO HAVE A FEW ITEMS THAT, LIKE I SAID, THAT, THAT I TURNED IN LAST YEAR AND THEY WERE NOT ADDRESSED NOR THEY WERE ACKNOWLEDGED.

AND I'M GOING TO JUST THERE'S A VERY SIMPLE ONE ON BEN DAVIS RAILROAD SIDE.

WHEN THEY TOOK AWAY THE TRAIN SOUND, THEY PUT A DIVIDER BETWEEN US AND THAT STREET. SO. WELL, THAT WAS A FEW, SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

AND IT'S PAINTED YELLOW. I MEAN, IT WOULD TAKE LESS THAN $100 TO PAINT REPAINT THIS MEDIUM PIECE.

NO WORD ON THAT. AND ALSO IT NEEDS LITTLE REFLECTORS, BUT I GUESS THAT DOES NOT IS NOT A HOT TOPIC IN THIS TOWN, BUT PEOPLE, AS YOU SEE TURNING, THEY ALMOST HIT IT.

I MEAN, I LIVE ON CORNWALL, I TURN ON THAT STREET ALL, I MEAN, ALL THE TIME AND IT'S, AND IT'S NOT GOOD. AND ALSO I BACK UP WITH THE THE CLEAN UP BETWEEN BEN DAVIS AND MURPHY LANE.

I MEAN, I'VE LIVED ON CORNWALL SINCE 1999. I GUARANTEE YOU THERE ARE STILL DEAD BRANCHES LYING ALONG THAT AREA.

AND I KNOW THE RAILROAD WAS SUPPOSED TO DO PART OF THAT, BUT IT IT NEVER GETS CLEANED.

THANKS. THAT'S ALL THE CARDS I HAVE. ANYONE ELSE LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM? ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE OR SEEING NONE. I'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AT THIS TIME.

THOMAS GRANGER 7:35 P.M.. PUBLIC HEARING IS CLOSED AT 7:35 P.M..

ALL RIGHT. QUESTIONS? COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL? MR. BALDWIN, ARE YOU JUST GETTING READY? I JUST HAVE ONE MORE SLIDE AFTER THIS WHEN COUNCIL IS READY.

OKAY. THANK YOU. QUESTIONS? COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL.

IT'S LIKE. READY FOR YOUR SLIDE, MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE SAYS THAT AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE PUBLIC HEARING, THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE MUNICIPALITY SHALL TAKE ACTION ON THE PROPOSED BUDGET.

[01:05:05]

AN ACTION ITEM, FOR EXAMPLE, COULD BE SETTING A DATE FOR THE ADOPTION OF THE BUDGET.

SO A REQUESTED MOTION SHOWS SHOULD COUNCIL LIKE TO USE THAT? THANK YOU, MR. BALDWIN. YES. MAKE SURE YOU KEEP THAT REQUEST IN MOTION UP THERE.

YES. MISS HOWARTH, ARE WE READY TO MOVE? EVEN FOR NOT, WE CAN HAVE DISCUSSION AFTERWARDS.

ALL RIGHT, WELL, I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO SET THE DATE FOR ADOPTION OF THE BUDGET FOR THE SEPTEMBER 8TH CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

OKAY. I HAVE A MOTION BY MISS HOWARTH TO SET THE DATE OF ADOPTION FOR THE BUDGET TO SEPTEMBER 8TH TO THE SET FOR THE SEPTEMBER 8TH CITY COUNCIL MEETING TO HAVE A SECOND MR. PRESTENBERG. SECOND. SECOND BY MISTER PRESTENBERG.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION? HEARING? NONE, PLEASE.

OH. I'M SORRY. YEAH, I SAW YOU JUST THE LAST SECOND, MISTER PRESTENBERG. YEAH. REAL QUICK, I MEAN, THERE'S A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP IN THE, IN THE, THE HEARING.

CAN I ADDRESS 1 OR 2? ABSOLUTELY. OKAY. SO THE COMPETITOR CITIES WE HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG AGO, MAYBE A YEAR AGO OR WHERE WE, WE ALL WERE PRESENTED 20 DIFFERENT CITIES.

WE HAD THE OLD LIST AND WHAT WE, WE ALL KIND OF GAVE OUR, OUR SPILL INTO WHY WE THOUGHT ONE WAS BETTER THAN ANOTHER.

IS THIS IS THIS CITY GROWING? IS THIS ONE NOT GROWING? I THINK LIKE WE HAVE RICHARDSON, I THINK WAS THE FORMER ONE.

YEAH. SO THERE'S THERE'S ONES THAT WEREN'T GROWING AS FAST.

YOU KNOW, SOME THAT WERE GROWING ARE SPEED THINGS ALONG THOSE LINES.

SO WE WE TRIED TO TAKE IT ALL INTO CONSIDERATION.

YES, I KNOW ROCKWALL IS NOT OUR COUNTY, BUT IT IS SOMEONE WE STRIVE TO BE SOMETIMES TOO.

YOU KNOW, LIKE THEY DO THINGS WELL IN CERTAIN SPOTS THAT WE WANT TO, WE WANT TO MIRROR.

SO BUT THAT'S WHERE WE CAME UP WITH THAT LIST.

I, I GUESS WE CAN GET YOU THE DATE AND GO BACK AND WATCH THE, THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING, BUT IT'S OUT THERE ON PUBLIC RECORD FOR, FOR YOU TO VIEW. IT WASN'T THAT FUN OF A DISCUSSION, BUT IT WAS ONE THAT, YOU KNOW, FOR 20 MINUTES.

IT'LL GET YOU SOME GOOD FEEDBACK ON IT. I'M NOT 100% FOCUSED ON THAT ONE, BUT THAT WOULD BE A GREAT QUESTION.

WELL, I WOULD ALSO SAY TOO, THAT AS PART OF THE LEGISLATURE PROCESS, THERE'S A LOT OF PROPOSALS THAT ARE AT LEAST TALKED ABOUT INITIALLY THAT AREN'T SET IN LAW. SO IT'S KIND OF A NEBULOUS THING TO CONSIDER BECAUSE GOVERNOR ABBOTT HAS A LOT OF OUR STATE POLITICIANS DO PROPOSE A LOT OF THINGS.

SOME BECOME BILLS AND LAWS AND SOME DON'T. SO IT'S HARD TO.

MY TAKE ON IT IS. IT'S HARD TO FACTOR THAT IN WHEN IT'S NOT LAW.

SO. BUT I THINK THE BROADER THING MISS KRANK TALKED ABOUT IN THE SENSE OF.

IS IT SOMETHING WE PROBABLY SHOULD CONSIDER, THINK ABOUT. ABSOLUTELY.

AS WE HAVE SAW, HISTORY HAS ALREADY SHOWN US THAT OVER THE YEARS THE STATE HAS SLOWLY SQUEEZED DOWN ON CITIES.

SO I DON'T SEE THAT TREND DISCONTINUING ANYTIME SOON.

SO I WOULD SAY FROM A BROADER STANDPOINT THAT'S TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION.

BUT AS FAR AS NUMBERS, YEAH, THAT'S HARD BECAUSE IT ULTIMATELY DEPENDS ON WHAT'S ULTIMATELY PASSED OR NOT PASSED BY THE LEGISLATURE.

YEAH. GO AHEAD. AND ALSO, JUST OUR STAFF HERE IN THE CITY IS PHENOMENAL.

AND SO IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO, YOU KNOW, SEND A QUESTION.

I DID NOT PICK IT UP RIGHT AWAY. YEAH. IS THAT BETTER? OH HOLD ON, I GOTTA TURN YOU ON. THERE YOU GO.

OKAY, THERE WE GO. BUT OUR CITY STAFF IS PHENOMENAL.

AND SO I THINK IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO, TO REQUEST IT.

YOU KNOW YOU KNOW, HAVE A SIT DOWN SESSION. EVEN WITH A COUNCIL MEMBER, WE CAN WALK YOU THROUGH WITH SOME STUFF, BUT THEY KEEP US ABREAST WITH EVERYTHING THAT'S COMING UP DOWN THE ROAD.

RIGHT? AND THE FOLKS THAT WERE HERE EARLIER, THEY DO A GREAT JOB OF THAT TOO.

AND IT'S, IT'S OPEN MY MIND BECAUSE THERE'S, WE CANNOT BE EXPERTS IN EVERYTHING, BUT WE HAVE EXPERTS AND THEY ALL SIT OVER THERE.

AND SO ABOUT DIFFERENT ISSUES. AND SO THEY HELP EASE OUR MIND WHEN IT COMES TO, YOU KNOW, DIVING INTO DETAILS AND WHATNOT. SO PLEASE KEEP THE QUESTIONS COMING, BUT JUST KNOW THAT WE, WE ACT AS FAR AHEAD AS POSSIBLE, AS THE MAYOR WAS SAYING, BUT WE DON'T WANT TO JUMP THE GUN ON WHEN A DECISION HASN'T BEEN MADE BY THE STATE JUST YET. AND TO PIGGYBACK ON THAT AS FAR AS TAX RATES GO, ARE COMPARED TO THESE MR. HOLBOKE BROUGHT UP LAST YEAR, WE WERE 11TH 11TH HIGHEST IN DALLAS COUNTY, 12TH HIGHEST, IF YOU COUNT COLLIN COUNTY.

OBVIOUSLY EVERYBODY HASN'T SET THEIR TAX RATES YET, BUT I WOULD ANTICIPATE WE'D BE SOMEWHERE CLOSE TO THAT, NOWHERE NEAR THE TOP. OKAY. ANYBODY ELSE ON COUNCIL? WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. OKAY. HEARING NO OTHER DISCUSSION, PLEASE CAST YOUR BALLOT.

[01:10:15]

MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM TWO.

[2. Consider making appointments to the Bond 2027 Committee.]

CONSIDER MAKING APPOINTMENTS TO THE BOND 2027 COMMITTEE.

MISS NASH. LIKE IT? YEAH. THERE YOU GO. CAN YOU CONTROL IT FROM THERE? THAT'D BE AMAZING. OH.

I'M SORRY. MY APOLOGIES.

THERE WE GO. ALL RIGHT. MAYOR AND COUNCIL. I'LL JUST GO THROUGH THIS PRESENTATION RATHER BRIEFLY, JUST KIND OF GIVE YOU A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, AND THEN I'LL LEAVE IT UP TO YOU ALL TO HAVE THE DISCUSSION.

SO THERE IS A TIMELINE IN HERE FOR A BOND 2027 PROGRAM.

KIND OF TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT BOND COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS AND THEN SOME NEXT STEPS.

SO IN YOUR STRATEGIC PLANNING RETREAT BACK IN FEBRUARY WE TALKED ABOUT SOME DIFFERENT OPTIONS RELATIVE TO PURSUANCE OF A GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND IN 2027. AND AT THAT TIME, THE COUNCIL GAVE THE STAFF MYSELF DIRECTION TO AT LEAST BEGIN EXPLORATION OF THIS PROCESS.

AND SO WE HAVE WORKED CLOSELY WITH OUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR TO PLAN FOR A POTENTIAL DEBT ISSUANCE IN OUR FINANCIAL FORECAST.

AND AS YOU RECALL, AS PART OF THAT DISCUSSION, WE WERE LOOKING AT IT FROM A A WAY TO NOT INCREASE THE TAX RATE, BUT TO BE ABLE TO DO IT WITHIN OUR EXISTING BUDGET AND TAX RATE THAT WE'RE IN CURRENTLY.

SO WE BRIEFED THE COUNCIL ON A POTENTIAL LARGE CIP BACK ON AUGUST 3RD OF SOME PROJECTS RELATIVE TO INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS, BUT THERE ARE STILL MORE THINGS THAT WOULD NEED TO BE CONSIDERED, FACILITIES AND OTHER TYPES OF PROJECTS THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT.

SO THIS WOULD BE A POTENTIAL TIMELINE. YOU COULD POSSIBLY APPOINT A BOND COMMITTEE TONIGHT.

WE MADE THIS AN ACTION ITEM, BUT OBVIOUSLY YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT.

YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO CONSIDER IT IF YOU WANT TO.

BUT WE THOUGHT THAT THE FIRST BOND COMMITTEE MEETING WOULD PROBABLY NEED TO BE IN SEPTEMBER, WHERE WE COULD GIVE AN ORIENTATION AND AN OVERVIEW OF ALL OF OUR CAPITAL NEEDS TO WHO IS WHOEVER IS ON THIS COMMITTEE? THEN SIMULTANEOUSLY GET SOME COMMUNITY FEEDBACK ON PRIORITIES AND WHAT THE COMMUNITY WOULD LIKE TO SEE RELATIVE TO A BOND.

THEN IN OCTOBER, WE'D HAVE THE SECOND BOND COMMITTEE MEETING, WHERE WE BEGIN TO REFINE THE PROJECT LIST AND TALK ABOUT FINANCIAL SCENARIOS RELATIVE TO THAT. AND THEN IN OCTOBER, WE WOULD REFINE THOSE OPTIONS AND AGAIN, SOLICIT CONTINUED COMMUNITY INPUT IN NOVEMBER, HAVE A THIRD BOND COMMITTEE MEETING FINALIZING THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS, AND THEN IN NOVEMBER GATHER THAT LAST PUBLIC INPUT.

AND THEN YOU'LL SEE IN DECEMBER, JANUARY, THERE WOULD BE COUNCIL PRESENTATIONS TO BE ABLE TO FINALIZE THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS.

AND THEN AT YOUR FEBRUARY 1ST CITY COUNCIL MEETING, WE WOULD HAVE A FORMAL RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL REGARDING THE CALLING OF A BOND ELECTION VIA RESOLUTION. SO STATE LAW SAYS FOR US TO BE ABLE TO CALL THAT ELECTION FOR MAY 1ST, THE LAST DAY TO CALL A BOND ELECTION FOR MAY WOULD BE FEBRUARY 12TH, 2027.

THE SECOND MEETING IN FEBRUARY WOULD BE PAST THAT DATE.

SO UNLESS YOU CALLED A SPECIAL MEETING, YOUR LAST REGULAR MEETING WOULD BE FEBRUARY 1ST, 2027.

BETWEEN FEBRUARY AND APRIL, THE BOND COMMITTEE WOULD PUT OUT THEIR EFFORTS TO LET THE PUBLIC KNOW WHAT THE PROJECTS ARE AND GET MORE INFORMATION, AND THEN WOULD BE CONSIDERED ON A GENERAL ELECTION ON MAY 1ST OF 2027.

SO STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT IN ORDER TO CONTINUE TO PURSUE THIS, YOU WOULD NEED TO APPOINT MEMBERS TO A BOND 2027 COMMITTEE.

THOSE MEMBERS WOULD THEN BE CONTACTED TO ARRANGE FOR THEIR FIRST MEETING AND SET THE SCHEDULE FOR THE REST OF THE PROCESS.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, AS WE DID WITH BOND 2021, WE WOULD BRIEF THE COUNCIL PERIODICALLY REGARDING PROGRESS IN PREPARATION FOR YOU ALL TO POTENTIALLY CALL AN ELECTION IN FEBRUARY FOR MAY OF 2027.

AND WITH THAT, I WILL LEAVE IT UP TO YOU ALL FOR DISCUSSION AND DIRECTION FOR THE STAFF.

THANK YOU, MISS NASH. JUST ONE POINT OF CLARIFICATION. ASSUMING THAT COUNCIL DOES GO THROUGH WITH THIS PROCESS, IT IS ULTIMATELY UP TO THE COUNCIL, COME FEBRUARY TO DECIDE WHETHER TO CALL A BOND ELECTION OR NOT.

SORRY. YES, SIR. THAT'S CORRECT. YOU COULD GET THROUGH THE END OF THE PROCESS AND DECIDE NOT TO MOVE FORWARD.

JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY'S CLEAR THAT IF WE DECIDE TO GO THROUGH THIS PROCESS, IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MEAN THAT WE WOULD HAVE A BOND ELECTION,

[01:15:01]

BUT WE HAVE TO FIGURE THAT OUT. YES, SIR. THAT IF YOU WANTED TO DO IT IN MAY, THIS WOULD BE THE SCHEDULE THAT YOU'D NEED TO BE ON.

OKAY. THANK YOU, MISS NASH. YEAH. AND AS FAR AS MY $0.02 ON THE COMMITTEE COMPOSITION, I THINK THIS IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR BOARD AND COMMISSION MEMBERS TO PARTICIPATE. THEY HAVE VERY LIMITED ROLES, VERY DEFINED ROLES, AND THIS MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT THEY WANT TO LOOK INTO TO BE A LITTLE BIT MORE INTERESTING. CHANGE UP THE SCENERY FOR THEM A LITTLE BIT.

THAT'S MY $0.02 ON THAT. QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS? MR. PRESTENBERG THANK YOU, MR. MAYOR. YOU'RE ON.

AM I OKAY? OH. OH. HOW ABOUT THIS ONE? HELLO? THERE YOU GO. THERE WE GO. HOLD ON. I THINK THIS ONE'S THIS ONE.

THERE WE GO. EVEN THOUGH IT'S RED, IT'S ON. YEAH. OKAY. IT'S OPPOSITE DAY.

YEAH, I, I THINK THIS IS A GREAT IDEA, LIKE YOU JUST MENTIONED YOU KNOW, POSSIBLY GOING THROUGH THE, THE GROUP OF FOLKS THAT WE HAVE IN OUR DIFFERENT COMMITTEES HOWEVER, YOU KNOW, JUST FROM A SELFISH STANDPOINT, I WOULD, I WOULD LIKE A FEW MORE DAYS BEFORE I APPOINT, YOU KNOW, MAKE A NOMINATION.

I MIGHT WANT TO ASK HIM. YEAH. WELL, NOT JUST THAT, BUT HAVE MORE CONVERSATIONS BECAUSE THIS IS IMPORTANT, YOU KNOW, ABOUT WHAT THE NEXT DECADE MIGHT LOOK LIKE FOR SACHSE.

I WASN'T HERE FOR THE. I WASN'T ON THE COUNCIL FOR THE PREVIOUS ONE. I WASN'T SACHSE, BUT I LIKE TO BE A PART OF OR HAVE A GOOD NOMINEE.

AND THAT'S WORTHY OF DOING THIS AND THAT KNOWS FULL WELL WHAT THEY'RE GETTING INTO TOO.

SO BUT I THINK SEPTEMBER 8TH WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO DO THAT IF OTHER PEOPLE AGREE.

MISS HOWARTH I KIND OF AGREE TO NOMINATE FOLKS THAT ARE CURRENTLY SERVING ON, ON COMMITTEES AND COMMISSIONS TO GET SOME FOLKS THAT ALREADY HAVE SOME FAMILIARITY WITH WHAT OUR NEEDS ARE AND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH.

AND THEN IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY FROM THE LAST PROCESS, WHEN THEY FINALLY WE APPOINT SOMEONE AND ONCE THEY MEET, WE GIVE THEM A LIST OF ALL THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS, AND THEN THEY PICK AND CHOOSE AND WE GIVE THEM A DOLLAR AMOUNT OR THEY COME UP WITH THAT REMIND ME OF THE PROCESS. SO WHAT HAPPENED IN 2021 IS THE STAFF GAVE PRESENTATIONS ON ALL THE PROJECTS THAT HAD BEEN TALKED ABOUT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS THAT WERE IN NEED.

AND SO MOSTLY AT THAT TIME IT WAS ROADS AND THE ANIMAL SHELTER.

AND SO THERE WERE OTHER PROJECTS ON THE LIST. COUNCILWOMAN BUHLER WAS ON THAT BOND COMMITTEE.

THERE WAS A LONG LIST. AND THEN THAT IS WHAT THAT THAT COMMITTEE DID IS THEY WHITTLED THAT LIST DOWN AND THEN THEY UNDERSTOOD FROM THE DIRECTION AT THAT TIME, THE DIRECTION WAS WE WANTED THE COUNCIL WANTED TO STAY WITHIN THE BUDGET RELATIVE TO WHAT THE CURRENT TAX RATE WAS.

SO FOR THE DEBT SERVICE PORTION OF THE TAX RATE, THEY DIDN'T WANT TO GO HIGHER THAN THAT.

AND SO THE COMMITTEE LOOKED AT THAT LIST BASED ON WHAT THAT BUDGET WAS, AND THEN CAME AND PRESENTED THAT TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

SO THEY TOOK THAT, TOOK THE NUMBER THAT WE WERE POTENTIALLY OKAY WITH, AND THEN PICK PROJECTS TO FILL THAT GAP AND PRIORITIZE BASICALLY WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE.

YES. OKAY. AND IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, EVERY ALL THE PROJECTS THAT WE'RE CONTEMPLATING FOR THIS BOND ARE ROADS AND STREETS, ALLEYS, INFRASTRUCTURE. SO THIS WOULD ALSO INCLUDE FACILITIES.

SO WE WOULD INCLUDE THOSE BECAUSE WE HAVE DONE PRELIMINARY FACILITIES ASSESSMENT TO KIND OF GRADE OUR BUILDINGS JUST LIKE WE GRADE OUR ROADS.

AND SO WE DO HAVE SOME, SOME FACILITY CONCERNS THAT WE'LL LIST.

SO IT'LL BE, IT'LL BE MORE TYPES OF PROJECTS THIS TIME FOR DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION.

OKAY. THANKS. I'M SURE THE BOND COMMITTEE WILL HELP US OUT WITH THAT TO DETERMINE WHAT'S GOOD AND WHAT'S NOT.

MR. MILLSAP. OKAY. I, I FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO MOVE.

IF WE'RE GOING TO DO A BOND PROJECT. WE NEED TO MOVE AS SOON AS WE CAN.

THE LONGER WE HAVE, THE MORE OPPORTUNITY FOR INPUT OF CITIZENS OF THIS.

ACTUALLY, THEY'RE GOING TO BE THE ONES PAYING FOR IT. NOT NOT US.

EVEN THOUGH, YES, I'M GOING TO BE PAYING TAXES TOO, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO GO AHEAD AND MOVE AS FAST AS WE CAN.

I'M READY TO APPOINT WHO I'M GOING TO WHEN ASKED TO SERVE.

ACTUALLY, I'VE ALREADY ASKED THEM IF THEY WOULD BE WILLING TO. I'VE DONE MY HOMEWORK UP FRONT LIKE I SHOULD HAVE, AND I AM NOT NECESSARILY OPPOSED TO PEOPLE THAT ARE ALREADY ON COMMITTEES DOING IT, BUT THOSE ARE PEOPLE THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN ENTRENCHED IN THE MENTALITY OF THE THINKING PROCESS, OF THE OPERATIONS OF THE CITY. I'D LIKE TO HAVE SOME NEW PEOPLE TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO PUT NEW PEOPLE ON IT THAT PAY TAXES AND HAVE LIVED HERE A WHILE AND GO FROM THERE. WE NEED TO MOVE AS SOON AS WE CAN, AND I AM NOT OPPOSED TO ADDING NEW PROJECTS THAT HAVEN'T ALREADY BEEN DISCUSSED.

AS DEMOGRAPHICS CHANGE AND THE FUTURE CHANGES, WE'RE UP FOR NATIONAL ELECTION NEXT TWO YEARS.

[01:20:04]

THAT'S GOING TO BE A MAJOR CHANGE IN THE POLITICAL DYNAMICS OF EVEN THE SACHSE, ESPECIALLY SACHSE, I THINK. AND SO I'M WILLING TO I'M READY TO DO MOVE TODAY AND GO FROM THERE.

IF WE NEED TO PUT IT OFF FOR A MONTH BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T DONE OUR HOMEWORK, THAT'S FINE.

BUT WE KNEW ABOUT IT. SO MAYBE WE NEED TO. IF WE'RE READY.

I THINK WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO ALLOW TO PRESENT OUR NAME FIRST AND THOSE WHO AREN'T READY AS SOON AS THEY GET IT DONE, BUT DOES HAVE A DEADLINE AS SOON AS WE CAN. MR. LEGH-PAGE JUST KIND OF NEW TO IT. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE WE LOOKING FOR TO BE IN THE COMMITTEE TOTAL? IT VARIES. BUT I GUESS THE WAY WE'RE LOOKING AT IT RIGHT NOW WOULD BE ONE APPOINTMENT FOR EACH COUNCIL MEMBER.

SO. SEVEN. OKAY. SO. SEVEN. AND THEN HOW DO WE ENSURE THAT THEY'RE FROM DIFFERENT PARTS OF SACHSE, LIKE NOT ALL FROM THE, THE COLLIN COUNTY SIDE OR THE, THE GARLAND SIDE OR I'M SORRY, THE DALLAS COUNTY SIDE, JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE, I GUESS EVEN SO, THE ONE THAT YOU'RE APPOINTING AND GOING JUST TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE ALL SAFEGUARDED.

AND WELL, THAT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT EACH COUNCIL MEMBER WHO THEY APPOINT.

YEAH, IT COULD WORK OUT THAT WAY. IT COULD NOT.

YEAH, YEAH. I AGREE WITH WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. YEAH.

SO I DON'T WANT IT TO BE TOO HEAVY SOMEWHERE NECESSARILY.

MR. PRESTENBERG. OH, I GOT YOU. HOLD ON. I DON'T THINK I HAVE ANY ON.

I'M USING YOUR NORMAL MIC. SECONDARY ONE. MISS GRANGER MAY HAVE TO.

OH, YOU KNOW, ARE WE GOOD? ALL RIGHT. YEAH. I AS COUNCIL MEMBER MILLSAP SAID HE'S DONE HIS HOMEWORK.

I'VE DONE SOME OF IT. KIND OF LIKE IN HIGH SCHOOL.

BUT I DO. THE THING IS, IF WE DO PUSH THIS TO THE SEPTEMBER 8TH TIME FRAME, IT'S NOT DELAYING ANYTHING.

WE'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE A MEETING, SECOND MEETING IN SEPTEMBER WHERE WE'LL HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION AND WHATNOT.

BUT YOU KNOW, MAYOR PRO TEM IS NOT HERE AS WELL.

I JUST FEEL LIKE IT GIVES A CHANCE TO DO SOME MORE DUE DILIGENCE THERE, BUT I'M OPEN FOR FEEDBACK IF WE WANT TO DO.

THREE PEOPLE NOMINATE THEIR THREE, THEN THE OTHER FOUR GO NOMINATE NEXT TIME.

THAT'S FINE TOO. I JUST WANTED TO PUT IT OUT THERE.

MISS BUHLER. I ALSO LIKE THE IDEA OF.

A REBOOT.

IT'S A VERY SECURE DOOR.

I WILL TURN HER MIC ON. THERE WE GO. HELLO? HELLO? YEAH, IF YOU THINK THAT'LL WORK.

TEST TEST TEST TEST. WATCH FOR FEEDBACK. THANK YOU MAYOR.

I LIKE THE IDEA FROM NOMINATING FROM OUR COMMITTEES TO.

THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT ARE ALREADY SERVING OUR COMMUNITY. THEY'RE SHOWING THAT THEY HAVE AN INTEREST. SO I THINK THAT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO GET TO EXPERIENCE A WIDER RANGE OF PROJECTS. I DID SERVE ON THE COMMITTEE.

AS MISS NASH SAID, BEFORE I WAS A COUNCIL MEMBER AND IT WAS A GREAT.

IT WAS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY JUST TO SEE ALL THE PROJECTS ACROSS OUR CITY.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO HAVE SOME ADDITIONAL CONVERSATIONS WITH MAYOR PRO TEM FRANKS BEING OUT.

I WOULD LIKE TO WAIT FOR HIM AND HAVE LET HIM HAVE A NOMINATION AS WELL, BECAUSE THIS IS AN IMPORTANT TASK AND I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD DO THAT WITHOUT HIM.

SO I'D LIKE TO PUSH THIS ONE MEETING. LET US ALL HAVE SOME CONVERSATIONS WITH SOME COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND THEN GO FROM THERE.

THANK YOU, MISS BUHLER. OKAY. MISS GRANGER, IF SOMEONE WANTS TO TALK, WOULD IT SHOW UP ON MY.

TIM, DO A TEST REAL QUICK. OH, YEAH. OKAY. DID YOU WANT TO SAY SOMETHING? OKAY. I DIDN'T KNOW IF IT'S A TEST. OKAY. MR. MILLSAP. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EACH ONE OF THE CITY COUNCIL NOMINATING ONE PERSON.

HAVE WE REALLY SAID ANY GUIDELINES AS HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE ON THE COMMITTEE AND WHO SETS THOSE GUIDELINES AND WHEN WILL THEY BE SET?

[01:25:07]

SO WE'LL HAVE A NO. AND WHO GETS TO SET, WHO GETS TO PICK THE OTHER MEMBERS THAT AREN'T REPRESENTED BY A A SELECTION FROM THE CITY COUNCIL? WELL, THE COUNCIL DECIDES ALL THAT.

SO THE COUNCIL COULD DECIDE TO APPOINT ONE PER COUNCIL MEMBER, TWO PER COUNCIL MEMBER FIVE PER COUNCIL MEMBER I MEAN, THAT'S THAT'S REALLY UP TO US. OKAY, THEN WHEN IS THAT DISCUSSION GOING TO BE HAD? SO WE'LL KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE DO WELL TO LOOK AT TO CHECK.

WELL, WE COULD TALK ABOUT THAT PART. WE MAY HAVE TO PUT IT OFF TILL OCTOBER UNTIL WE GET THOSE FINAL DECISIONS DONE.

WELL, I CAN JUST PUT WHAT I THINK ON THE RECORD.

I JUST THINK WE SHOULD EACH APPOINT ONE. THAT'S MY TAKE.

BUT I GUESS WE'LL SEE WHAT COUNCIL THINKS. MISS HOWARTH.

AND THAT'S JUST WHAT I WAS GOING TO SAY ON THE LAST TIME.

I THINK WE ALL APPOINTED TWO. AND THAT COMMITTEE WAS A LITTLE UNWIELDY, AND MEETINGS RAN A LITTLE LONG.

I THINK IT WAS A LITTLE BIT TOO BIG, AND ONE PER COUNCIL MEMBER IS PROBABLY A LITTLE BETTER THAN TWO.

I DIDN'T CONSIDER ANY OTHER PEOPLE ON THAT BECAUSE I THOUGHT SEVEN.

PLUS, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A COUPLE OF STAFF PEOPLE THAT ARE ASSISTING THE COMMITTEE.

THEY AREN'T REALLY VOTING MEMBERS, BUT THEY'RE JUST THERE. THAT THAT SEEMS A LITTLE MORE REASONABLE FROM LIKE THE DISCUSSIONS THAT WE HAVE OR SEVEN PEOPLE PLUS SOME STAFF THAT, THAT THOSE MEETINGS MIGHT BE A LITTLE MORE PRODUCTIVE AND A LITTLE LESS TIME A LITTLE LESS UNWIELDY IF WE STICK TO ONE RATHER THAN TWO.

YEAH. OTHER COMMENTS FROM COUNCIL ON NUMBERS OR JUST DISCUSSION IN GENERAL.

WELL HOLD ON. GOT MISS BUHLER. AM I ON? YOU MIGHT AS WELL JUST KEEP THAT.

I SUPPORT DOING 1 OR 2 MEMBERS. I AGREE A MUCH LARGER GROUP.

IT WOULD BE HARDER TO KEEP ON TRACK AND FOCUS.

I THINK A SMALLER COMMITTEE THAT CAN DO THE WORK AND, AND SEE THE BROAD PICTURE WOULD BE BETTER.

SO I WOULD SUPPORT EITHER 1 OR 2. OKAY. AND DID YOU HAVE ANOTHER COMMENT? IS MAKING THE DECISION TONIGHT WHERE WE PICK ONE PER COUNCIL MEMBER OR TWO PER COUNCIL MEMBER? IS THAT OPEN FOR ACTION TONIGHT? WELL, IT'S CERTAINLY OPEN FOR DISCUSSION AND ACTION.

IT DEPENDS ON WHAT MOTIONS ARE MADE. ANY COUNCIL MEMBER CAN MAKE ANY MOTION THEY WANT.

MR. PRESTENBERG ARE WE READY FOR A MOTION? WE MAKE MOTIONS ANYTIME WE WANT.

HOWEVER, BEFORE YOU DO THAT IT IS AN ACTION ITEM, SO ANYONE IN THE AUDIENCE WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THIS ITEM? HEARING NONE. OKAY. CONTINUE. MR. PRESTENBERG, I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION ON ITEM F THREE THAT WE, HAVE TWO. OH, YEAH. OKAY. THIS ONE'S. THAT ONE'S A LOT LONGER.

MY BAD. YEAH. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION FOR ITEM F 2 TO PUSH THE DATE FOR A NOMINATION TO SEPTEMBER THE 8TH, EIGHTH OF 2026. AND THAT ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS PRESENT ONE CANDIDATE FOR VOTING PURPOSES. I HAVE A MOTION BY MR. PRESTENBERG TO POSTPONE ACTION ON THIS ITEM TO SEPTEMBER 8TH WITH THE UNDERSTANDING WHICH COULD CHANGE THAT WE LIMIT IT TO ONE PER COUNCIL MEMBER. DO I HAVE A SECOND? MISS HOWARTH? I WAS GOING TO. WELL, WE GOT TO HAVE A SECOND.

THEN WE CAN DISCUSS IF WE HAVE A SECOND. YEAH, I'LL SECOND IT.

OKAY. NOW YOU CAN TALK ABOUT IT. OH, I WAS GOING TO ADD A CAVEAT ON TO THAT.

THAT ONE PER PERSON AND CHOOSE SOMEONE FROM AN EXISTING BOARD OF COMMISSION.

NOT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE YOUR THE BOARD OF COMMISSION YOU LIAISON.

IT CAN BE ANYBODY YOU KNOW THAT IS ON A BOARD OF COMMISSION IS WASN'T THE MOTION ON THE FLOOR.

SO. NO, IT'S. MR. PRESTENBERG AMENABLE TO THAT.

OKAY. SO FOR THE RECORD, WHY DON'T YOU RESTATE YOUR MOTION? ALL RIGHT, HOLD ON. THERE YOU GO. THERE WE GO.

MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE OR TO MAKE ADDENDUM TO MAKE IT CLEAN.

IF YOU WANT TO, YOU CAN WITHDRAW YOUR MOTION.

I'D LIKE TO WITHDRAW MY PREVIOUS MOTION. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU. I'D LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE ITEM F 2 WITH THE FOLLOWING CAVEATS THAT IT'S VOTE WILL TAKE PLACE ON SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2026, THAT EVERY COUNCIL MEMBER WILL PRESENT ONE NOMINEE FOR VOTING PURPOSES.

AND THAT THAT LIST OF POTENTIAL NOMINEES WILL COME FROM THE BOARD AND COMMISSIONERS LIST.

I HAVE A MOTION DO I HAVE A SECOND. MISS HOWARTH.

SECOND. SECOND BY MISS HOWARTH. ANY FURTHER DISCUSSION?

[01:30:05]

HEARING NONE, PLEASE CAST YOUR BALLOT.

OH MY BAD. MOTION CARRIES UNANIMOUSLY. SO WE WILL HEAR THIS ITEM AGAIN ON SEPTEMBER THE 8TH.

WITH THOSE CAVEATS. NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS ITEM THREE.
